Insomnia creates the longest nite of my life

Some of the mid-life baby boomer health has led them to medical items that seem to work for a little while but then you need more help or something stronger to keep that effect. I don't want, like or need the side effects of the sleep meds. Here's an article on 14 Ways To Improve Sleep Now!

I've also read the book by Eric Braverman called the "Edge Effect" and found that Gaba helps to calm the excitability of the brain. The cause for mid-life insomnia can be a depletion of vitamins, minerals or hormones. I guess that's why it hits us active baby boomers. Once the hormones start to go, it seems a fast ride down from there.

I personally have found the natural items to work the best. I've had to reduce starch intake, use the bio-identical hormone cream to get balance back up and tried this calming, stress relieving supplements and now I get great sleep. All with no nasty side effects. Some active baby boomers have only needed the supplements to bring back the great sleep they know and love.

I have also improved my need of better sleep by replacing my mattress. You can either purchase expensive or just put a great topper on your current bed.

There are many books written on insomnia and we can always look to meditation, yoga or even wonderfully soothing music to lull us to sleep. Sometimes just knowing we are not the only one experiencing sleepless nights puts us on the right track of finding out what can or will work for us. Amazon always has a book or two to instruct us in a positive way:

Reducing stress by putting more joy in your life helps also. Remember to let go of everyone and everything you are trying to control in your life when you lay down to escape the day. An active baby boomer needs rest, relaxation and joy versus insomnia.

Which will you pick????????
